ENGINE - 4.7L
DESCRIPTIONÐ4.7L ENGINE
The 4.7 liter (287 CID) eight-cylinder engine is an
90É single overhead camshaft engine. The cast iron
cylinder block is made up of two different compo-
nents; the first component is the cylinder bore and
upper block, the second component is the bedplate
that comprises the lower portion of the cylinder block
and houses the lower half of the crankshaft mainbearings. The cylinders are numbered from front to
rear with the left bank being numbered 1,3,5 and 7,
and the right bank being numbered 2,4,6 and 8. The
firing order is 1±8±4±3±6±5±7±2. The engine serial
number is located at the right front side of the
engine block (Fig. 1)
